I haven't contributed much to the site of late. (since I haven't found a rock since May!) One of my worst years for artifacts with only 21 entries in the log book. I did find a basal notched point, a crude celt and I'll throw the clay pipe in here even though it's not Native production.
Luckily, I have a plan B and was able to collect some cool historic items. 113 things logged in that category.
A couple fiddle back spoons in nickel silver, a nice monogrammed silver spoon, a mercury dime and a few other bits of silver. How a plated knife from the Rittenhouse Hotel got out here I'll never know.
Scored a Pullman Porter hat badge and small brass button from his jacket. I always get excited when I stumble on the military collar pins and buttons.
The trade tokens and tax tokens were a new category of study for me this year. The 1 chiao coin from Tiawan had me scratching my head. They haven't used those since the early 50's and how did it find its way to a ravine in Ohio? No review would be complete without some bottles.

Several unique hand tooled bottles including a 3 in One oil bottle and a warranted flask with that nice pink patina.
The WW Brady soda from Columbus and Bee Bee mineral bottle were new additions and I''m always a sucker for pre-prohibition beers. Always happy to find something and the wife tolerates the mud I drag in so I have nothing to complain about. Hope everybody has a good Thanksgiving, fldwlkr
